| Description: | Assay b) HT29 cells (ECACC #85061109) were seeded into 384 well assay plates (Costar #3712) at a density of 6000 cells/well in 40 μl EMEM medium containing 1% L glutamine and 10% FBS and allowed to adhere overnight. The following morning compound of Formula (I) in 100% DMSO was added to assay plates by acoustic dispensing. After 1 h incubation at 37° C. and 5% CO2, 40 nl of 3 mM 4NQO in 100% DMSO was added to all wells by acoustic dispensing, except minimum control wells which were left untreated with 4NQO to generate a null response control. Plates were returned to the incubator for a further 1 h. Then cells were fixed by adding 20 μl of 3.7% formaldehyde in PBS solution and incubating for 20 mins at r.t. Then 20 μl of 0.1% Triton X100 in PBS was added and incubated for 10 minutes at r.t., to permeabalise cells. Then the plates were washed once with 50 μl/well PBS, using a Biotek EL405 plate washer. Phospho-Chk1 Ser 345 antibody (Cell Signalling Technology #2348) was diluted 150 fold in PBS containing 0.05% polysorbate/Tween and 15 μl was added to each well and incubated over night at r.t. The next morning plates were washed three times with 50 μl/well PBS, using a Biotek EL405 plate washer, and then 20 μl of secondary Ab solution, containing 500 fold diluted Alexa Fluor 488 Goat anti-rabbit IgG (Molecular Probes #A-11008) and 0.002 mg/ml Hoeschst dye (Molecular Probes #H-3570), in PBST, was added. After 2 h incubation at r.t., the plates were washed three times with 50 μl/well PBS, using a Biotek EL405 plate washer, and plates were then sealed with black plate seals until read. Plates were read using an ArrayScan VTI instrument, using an XF53 filter with 10× objective. A two laser set up was used to analyse nuclear staining with Hoeschst (405 nm) and secondary antibody staining of pChk1 (488 nm). |
